Holy crap i forgot i replied in this. That flat surfaced counterwieght screams 365, thats why i mentioned it, the 345 counterweights are all radiused not flat.

That red & black cat is awesome!

nice pics! Never seen paint schemes like that

I thought how the different colour made it look bigger, never thought anybody would want a machine downsized. Known companies take the labels off to put it out as a size bigger.
A Komatsu PC180-3 I operated went out regularly as a 210 :beatsme

They should pay the machines by bucket size, not machine weight

imagine a 10 ton machine with a 20 ton machine bucket

That first 345 painted green sure looks like a 365 to me.

Time to put up some photos of a 365c and show that the green one is a 345...


First shot is from www.lkw-stefan.de's website, note the ladder on the right side of the 365's to get up above the engine, not on a 345.

and this photo from photostp.free.fr shows that the radiador actually is larger than the general shape of the 365's body... which is a lot larger as well

not trying to be a jerk, but these are the two things I look for most often when I'm trying to decide from photos if a machine is a 345, 365, or 385.

Still great photos... and the websites I dug these photos from are also well worth the look.:thumbsup

ben46a, the european spec 345's have a more square C/W. Illustrated in these pics:

#1 is a german machine
#2 is a machine from California

The machine in question is without a doubt a 345. Great topic, I like the blue Cats.:drinkup
